    Basically 65% of 85% based on the mistakes I've caught on the board. One time in particular I tried to book a load and up in the right hand corner instead of UPDATE SUCSESS It read LOAD REGENERATING when it confirmed again it was reduced by 50%. 15% SNL 35% to SNI
    This is how it's always been here it's just that the logistics dept. SNL is taking a bigger cut as time goes by.

    The logistics side should be taking nothing. I couldn't do business with a carrier that played those games.

    No need. You guys are happy are Sni so I can tell you I'm hauling for $20/mile all you gonna say is Yea right lol.. So you'd have to come over and see the difference yourself.. But I tell you what idk who said the rates at sni and LS were comparable but it's not

    Are you finding yourself doing more drop and hook or live stuff? Asking because of the options with pulling their trailer or pulling yours for a bit higher percentage.

    Glad to see you are doing better. And just as importantly, happier. Bet it feels good to be back in the show after spending so much time down in the minor league.

    A little of both but I want to buy my own trailer soon as I finish paying off my truck. Now whether it's van or flat I don't know yet but I'm definitely buying my own wagon. You'll see more money. But the system isn't bad to me because I'm a people person..I like mingling and meeting people so talking to agents is nothing to me. The way I look at it the owner is sni and any other rich person didn't become rich by sitting behind a cpu and just clicking their mouse.. They put the leg work in and they established relationships with important people.. But for the guys still at Sni don't be naive to think that it's just the lease guys who have no knowledge that are the ones that are taking the $1.00 a mile loads quickly... Alot of the old timers who have no payment or a little one are too. Just FYI

    Thanks. Currently exploring getting my own authority, with a possibility of going to Landstar if I don't go the first route.

    Yeah that's the new thing here. 6mo recent exp. So pretty much nobody at SNI can get on here. It's a shame but understandable. I think they are just trying to raise the bar back up to help raise rates higher for us.

    I would think LS is a good fit for you. Best of luck.
     
    duddie Thanks this.
